It was a way to celebrate my milestone birthday and follow in the footsteps of my great-grandfather, who sailed from England to New Zealand in the late 1800s. I wanted to sail the same route he did, across the Southern Ocean in November and December. I bought a one-way ticket to South Africa and then sailed home to Australia. Arriving in Australia was emotional. My wife and I first crossed paths in Perth, so it held a special place in my heart. Sailing into Fremantle at sunrise and seeing the familiar skyline felt like returning home. Our skipper, Nano, even let me be the first one across the finish line because I was Australian. It was a moment I’ll never forget. I arrived in South Africa early to bond with my crewmates. We explored Cape Town, climbed Lion’s Head and Table Mountain, and visited a vineyard (葡萄园). By the time we set sail, I felt like part of the team. The training was fantastic, bringing together people from all walks of life. We learned to sail together, overcoming fears and building strong relationships. On the boat, the camaraderie was incredible. We rooted for each other, even in the toughest conditions. I learned a lot about myself and my teammates. Being below deck (甲板) was challenging, but everyone supported each other. The race was a test of both physical and mental strength. For anyone thinking about taking on the race of their life, my advice is: throw yourself into it and do it. Age isn’t a barrier. I was a total beginner, but the training and support made me feel confident. You’ll meet amazing people and create unforgettable memories. 4 Why did Sean Russo decide to join Leg 3 of the Clipper 2023-24 Race? A. To honour his grandfather. B. To meet different people. C. To celebrate his 60th birthday. D. To challenge himself physically. 5. Why did Sean Russo feel emotional when arriving in Australia? A. He first met his wife in Perth. B He had never been to Australia before. C. He was surprised by the beautiful sunrise. D. He was nervous about reuniting with his family. 6. What does the underlined word “camaraderie” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Tension. B. Friendship. C. Competition. D. Independence. 7. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The race is intended for experienced sailors. B. Age is a big barrier to participating in the race. C. Beginners should think twice before signing up. D. Pursue your dream bravely regardless of age. C The archaeological (考古的) site of Guiengola in Oaxaca, Mexico, was once thought to be a fortress (堡垒), just a place where soldiers were stationed. However, new research has found that it is now known to be overgrown ruins of a 15th-century Zapotec city. Guiengola is estimated to cover 360 hectares (公顷) of land and is said to have contained more than 1,100 buildings, temples, and ball courts, along with four kilometres’ worth of defense walls and an internal network of roads. McGill University researcher Pedro Guillermo Ramón Celis made the discovery, which changes assumptions made about the function of the site, as well as shifting understanding of Guiengola towards a highly advanced urban centre with separate areas for rich people and regular people. Guiengola’s ruins were covered with thick vegetation, making traditional archaeological surveys impossible. Ramón Celis used lidar, a method that employs light detection and ranging digitally, aiding in reaching beneath the leaves and showing the entire extent of the city. Furthermore, using the maps generated from the lidar alongside the objects found on the site, Ramón Celis was able to establish Guiengola as a military base alongside an urban centre consisting of planned community spaces that reflected social class. Ramón Celis says that this discovery is key to understanding the polities and social structure of the Zapotec civilization. In addition to their ties to the Mesoamerican (中美洲) civilization ball courts held great importance in Guiengola. Their existence indicates that spiritual life and politics were integrated with the organizational structure of the city. For Ramón Celis, the project carries personal significance. His mother’s family is from Tehuantepec, just 20 kilometres from Guiengola, and childhood stories about the site inspired his pursuit of archaeology. “Because the city is only between 500 and 600 years old, it is in excellent condition. It’s like a city frozen in time,” he says. 8. What can be inferred about Guiengola’s social structure? A. It had no class divisions. B. Rich and poor lived in separate areas. C. It was an unexplored rural area. D. All citizens participated in military activities. 9. What shows politics were connected to how the city was organized? A. Defense walls’ function. B. Lidar technology. C. The number of temples. D. The presence of ball courts. 10. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Discovery of a Zapotec Military Base B. Lidar: A Revolutionary Archaeological Tool C. Childhood Stories Inspire an Archaeologist D. From Fortress to City: Redefining Guiengola 11. Where is the text most likely taken from? A. A fiction novel. B. A personal blog. C. A science journal. D. A travel brochure. D Choice touches virtually every aspect of our lives, from what to buy and where to live to whom to love, what profession to practise, and even what to believe. But the option to choose in such matters was not something we always possessed or even desired. At the same time, we have been warned by everybody from marketing experts to psychologists about the negative consequences coming from our current obsession (痴迷) with choice. It turns out that not only are we not very good at realizing our personal desires, we are also overloaded with too many possibilities and anxious about what best to select. There are social costs too. How did all this happen? The Age of Choice tells the long history of the invention of choice as the defining feature of modern freedom. Taking readers from the seventeenth century to today, Sophia Rosenfeld describes how the early modern world witnessed the simultaneous (同时的) rise of shopping as an activity and religious freedom. Similarly, she traces the history of choice in romantic life, politics, and the ideals of human rights. Throughout, she pays particular attention to the lives of women, those often with the fewest choices, who have frequently been the drivers of this change. She concludes with an exploration of how reproductive rights have become a symbolic flashpoint in our contemporary struggles over the association of liberty with choice. Drawing on a wealth of sources ranging from novels and restaurant menus to the latest scientific findings about choice in psychology and economics, The Age of Choice calls on us to reconsider what choice means and to examine both its potential and its limitations in contemporary society. Choice is essential, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it. 12. What does the author imply in the first paragraph? A. We desire to have more choices in life. B. We always suffer negative results from addiction to choice. C. We didn’t always have the chance to choose. D. Choice is the defining feature of modern freedom. 13. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. The history of shopping as an activity. B. The development of religious freedom. C. The rise of choice in various aspects. D. The lives of women in the early modern world. 14. What does the book The Age of Choice urge us to do? A. Ignore the promise of choice. B. Rethink the meaning of choice. C. Accept the limitations of choice. D. Avoid making wrong choices in life. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To recommend a book on choice. B. To explain the history of choice. C. To criticize modern obsession with choice. D. To discuss the impact of choice on women. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Some bad and some good decisions will occur daily. Thankfully, you can use these 5 techniques to bounce back from a bad decision. ●Reflect on why you made the bad decision and regroup. Mistakes are unavoidable.

Mr. Davis looked up at the giant oak, its trunk dominating the centre of the parkland. The roots spread wide beneath the soft, worn grass, but the branches, once proud and expansive, had bent and cracked (破裂) because of the rot (腐烂). “I’m afraid I don’t share your optimism, Miss Pryke. We’ve received public complaints that its branches may fall at any moment. I shall engage an expert to give his opinion but if he recommends cutting it down, so be it.” “But the tree is part of the park’s history. It has stood here for hundreds of years.” It was on the tip of her tongue to explain that she also had a deep personal connection to it, but Clara was worried that he would think the reason was too emotional. “If you’ll allow me a few days, I’ll try to find a way to save it.” Mr. Davis made a sound of disbelief. “While I respect your skill as a botanical artist and admire your late father’s writings on the natural world and his knowledge in engineering, they do not qualify you to judge a tree’s safety,” he thought for a while and said. “I’ll see if I can get a surveyor to come on Monday. That gives you three days to put together and present a proposal. I’ll let you know the exact date and time.” “Thank you,” Clara said in relief. She watched him walk away, and then gently touched the rough bark, reflecting on the happy time she’d spent with the tree. She drew many pictures of the oak tree. Some of these drawings were sold to publishers, and along with other illustrations, they provided her with a modest (较少的) income. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “I’ll save you,” she whispered. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By Sunday, Clara had a plan ready, detailing the steps she would take to protect the ancient oak. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025届高三第二学期3月质量检测 英语 全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.请按题号顺序在答题卡上各题目的答题区域内作答，写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3.选择题用2B铅笔在答题卡上把所选答案的标号涂黑;非选择题用黑色签字笔在答题卡上作答;字体工整，笔迹清楚。 4.考试结束后，请将试卷和答题卡一并上交。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

When I was 60, I decided to cross an ocean by joining Leg 3 of the Clipper 2023—24 Race. It was a way to celebrate my milestone birthday and follow in the footsteps of my great-grandfather, who sailed from England to New Zealand in the late 1800s. I wanted to sail the same route he did, across the Southern Ocean in November and December. I bought a one-way ticket to South Africa and then sailed home to Australia. Arriving in Australia was emotional. My wife and I first crossed paths in Perth, so it held a special place in my heart. Sailing into Fremantle at sunrise and seeing the familiar skyline felt like returning home. Our skipper, Nano, even let me be the first one across the finish line because I was Australian. It was a moment I’ll never forget. I arrived in South Africa early to bond with my crewmates. We explored Cape Town, climbed Lion’s Head and Table Mountain, and visited a vineyard (葡萄园). By the time we set sail, I felt like part of the team. The training was fantastic, bringing together people from all walks of life. We learned to sail together, overcoming fears and building strong relationships. On the boat, the camaraderie was incredible. We rooted for each other, even in the toughest conditions. I learned a lot about myself and my teammates. Being below deck (甲板) was challenging, but everyone supported each other. The race was a test of both physical and mental strength. For anyone thinking about taking on the race of their life, my advice is: throw yourself into it and do it. Age isn’t a barrier. I was a total beginner, but the training and support made me feel confident. You’ll meet amazing people and create unforgettable memories. 4. Why did Sean Russo decide to join Leg 3 of the Clipper 2023-24 Race? A. To honour his grandfather. B. To meet different people. C. To celebrate his 60th birthday. D. To challenge himself physically. 5. Why did Sean Russo feel emotional when arriving in Australia? A. He first met his wife in Perth. B. He had never been to Australia before. C. He was surprised by the beautiful sunrise. D. He was nervous about reuniting with his family. 6. What does the underlined word “camaraderie” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Tension. B. Friendship. C. Competition. D. Independence. 7. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The race is intended for experienced sailors. B. Age is a big barrier to participating in the race. C. Beginners should think twice before signing up. D. Pursue your dream bravely regardless of age. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。叙述了作者Sean Russo参加Clipper 2023—24 Race第三赛段的经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I’m Sean Russo from New South Wales, Australia. When I was 60, I decided to cross an ocean by joining Leg 3 of the Clipper 2023—24 Race. It was a way to celebrate my milestone birthday and follow in the footsteps of my great-grandfather, who sailed from England to New Zealand in the late 1800s.(我是Sean Russo，来自澳大利亚新南威尔士州。60岁时，我决定参加克利伯2023-24年帆船赛的第三赛段，横渡大洋。这是庆祝我里程碑式生日的一种方式，也是追随我曾祖父的脚步的一种方式。我曾祖父在19世纪末从英国乘船来到新西兰)”可知，Sean Russo决定参加克利伯2023-24赛季的第三赛段是为了庆祝他60岁生日。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Arriving in Australia was emotional. My wife and I first crossed paths in Perth, so it held a special place in my heart.(抵达澳大利亚让我很激动。我和妻子第一次相遇是在珀斯，所以它在我心中占据了一个特殊的位置)”可知，因为第一次遇见他的妻子是在珀斯，所以抵达澳大利亚让Sean Russo和激动。故选A项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据后文“We rooted for each other, even in the toughest conditions. I learned a lot about myself and my teammates. Being below deck (甲板) was challenging, but everyone supported each other. The race was a test of both physical and mental strength.(即使在最艰难的条件下，我们也互相支持。我学到了很多关于我自己和我的队友的知识。在甲板下面是一个挑战，但每个人都互相支持。这场比赛是对体力和脑力的考验)”可知，作者和队友们互相支持，所以是同志情谊令人难以置信，推知camaraderie是“友谊”之意，和B项“友谊”意思相近。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“For anyone thinking about taking on the race of their life, my advice is: throw yourself into it and do it. Age isn’t a barrier. I was a total beginner, but the training and support made me feel confident. You’ll meet amazing people and create unforgettable memories.(对于任何想要参加人生竞赛的人，我的建议是：全身心投入，全力以赴。年龄不是障碍。我完全是初学者，但训练和支持让我感到自信。你会遇到很棒的人，创造难忘的回忆)”可知，作者建议不管年龄多大，勇敢地追求你的梦想。故选D项。 C The archaeological (考古的) site of Guiengola in Oaxaca, Mexico, was once thought to be a fortress (堡垒), just a place where soldiers were stationed. However, new research has found that it is now known to be overgrown ruins of a 15th-century Zapotec city. Guiengola is estimated to cover 360 hectares (公顷) of land and is said to have contained more than 1,100 buildings, temples, and ball courts, along with four kilometres’ worth of defense walls and an internal network of roads. McGill University researcher Pedro Guillermo Ramón Celis made the discovery, which changes assumptions made about the function of the site, as well as shifting understanding of Guiengola towards a highly advanced urban centre with separate areas for rich people and regular people. Guiengola’s ruins were covered with thick vegetation, making traditional archaeological surveys impossible. Ramón Celis used lidar, a method that employs light detection and ranging digitally, aiding in reaching beneath the leaves and showing the entire extent of the city. Furthermore, using the maps generated from the lidar alongside the objects found on the site, Ramón Celis was able to establish Guiengola as a military base alongside an urban centre consisting of planned community spaces that reflected social class. Ramón Celis says that this discovery is key to understanding the polities and social structure of the Zapotec civilization. In addition to their ties to the Mesoamerican (中美洲) civilization, ball courts held great importance in Guiengola. Their existence indicates that spiritual life and politics were integrated with the organizational structure of the city. For Ramón Celis, the project carries personal significance. His mother’s family is from Tehuantepec, just 20 kilometres from Guiengola, and childhood stories about the site inspired his pursuit of archaeology. “Because the city is only between 500 and 600 years old, it is in excellent condition. It’s like a city frozen in time,” he says. 8. What can be inferred about Guiengola’s social structure? A. It had no class divisions. B. Rich and poor lived in separate areas. C. It was an unexplored rural area. D. All citizens participated in military activities. 9. What shows politics were connected to how the city was organized? A. Defense walls’ function. B. Lidar technology. C. The number of temples. D. The presence of ball courts. 10. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Discovery of a Zapotec Military Base B. Lidar: A Revolutionary Archaeological Tool C Childhood Stories Inspire an Archaeologist D. From Fortress to City: Redefining Guiengola 11. Where is the text most likely taken from? A. A fiction novel. B. A personal blog. C. A science journal. D. A travel brochure. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了墨西哥瓦哈卡州的Guiengola考古遗址的新发现。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“McGill University researcher Pedro Guillermo Ramón Celis made the discovery, which changes assumptions made about the function of the site, as well as shifting understanding of Guiengola towards a highly advanced urban centre with separate areas for rich people and regular people.(麦吉尔大学的研究员Pedro Guillermo Ramón Celis发现了这一发现，它改变了人们对该遗址功能的假设，也改变了人们对吉恩戈拉的理解，认为它是一个高度发达的城市中心，富人和普通人的区域是分开的)”可知，关于Guiengola的社会结构可以推断出富人和穷人住在不同的地区。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Ramón Celis says that this discovery is key to understanding the polities and social structure of the Zapotec civilization. In addition to their ties to the Mesoamerican (中美洲) civilization, ball courts held great importance in Guiengola. Their existence indicates that spiritual life and politics were integrated with the organizational structure of the city.(Ramón Celis说，这一发现是理解Zapotec文明的政治和社会结构的关键。除了与中美洲文明的联系外，球场在Guiengola也很重要。它们的存在表明，精神生活和政治已经与城市的组织结构融为一体)”可知，球场的存在表明政治与城市的组织方式有关。故选D项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The archaeological (考古的) site of Guiengola in Oaxaca, Mexico, was once thought to be a fortress (堡垒), just a place where soldiers were stationed. However, new research has found that it is now known to be overgrown ruins of a 15th-century Zapotec city.

But the option to choose in such matters was not something we always possessed or even desired. At the same time, we have been warned by everybody from marketing experts to psychologists about the negative consequences coming from our current obsession (痴迷) with choice. It turns out that not only are we not very good at realizing our personal desires, we are also overloaded with too many possibilities and anxious about what best to select. There are social costs too. How did all this happen? The Age of Choice tells the long history of the invention of choice as the defining feature of modern freedom. Taking readers from the seventeenth century to today, Sophia Rosenfeld describes how the early modern world witnessed the simultaneous (同时的) rise of shopping as an activity and religious freedom. Similarly, she traces the history of choice in romantic life, politics, and the ideals of human rights. Throughout, she pays particular attention to the lives of women, those often with the fewest choices, who have frequently been the drivers of this change. She concludes with an exploration of how reproductive rights have become a symbolic flashpoint in our contemporary struggles over the association of liberty with choice. Drawing on a wealth of sources ranging from novels and restaurant menus to the latest scientific findings about choice in psychology and economics, The Age of Choice calls on us to reconsider what choice means and to examine both its potential and its limitations in contemporary society. Choice is essential, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it. 12 What does the author imply in the first paragraph? A. We desire to have more choices in life. B. We always suffer negative results from addiction to choice. C. We didn’t always have the chance to choose. D. Choice is the defining feature of modern freedom. 13. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. The history of shopping as an activity. B. The development of religious freedom. C. The rise of choice in various aspects. D. The lives of women in the early modern world. 14. What does the book The Age of Choice urge us to do? A. Ignore the promise of choice. B. Rethink the meaning of choice. C. Accept the limitations of choice. D. Avoid making wrong choices in life. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To recommend a book on choice. B. To explain the history of choice. C. To criticize modern obsession with choice. D. To discuss the impact of choice on women. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是《选择的时代》一书，探讨选择的历史、其在现代社会中的角色及其对个人和社会的影响。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But the option to choose in such matters was not something we always possessed or even desired.(然而，我们在这些事情上有选择的机会并不是我们一直拥有或渴望的。)”可知，选择的机会并不是我们一直拥有或渴望的，由此可知，我们并不总是有机会选择。故选C项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“Taking readers from the seventeenth century to today, Sophia Rosenfeld describes how the early modern world witnessed the simultaneous (同时的) rise of shopping as an activity and religious freedom. Similarly, she traces the history of choice in romantic life, politics, and the ideals of human rights.(索菲娅·罗森菲尔德带领读者从17世纪到现在，描述了早期现代社会见证了购物作为一种活动和宗教自由的同时兴起。同样，她追溯了选择在浪漫生活、政治以及人权理想中的历史。)”可知，书中讨论了选择在多个方面的历史发展，包括购物、宗教自由、浪漫生活、政治和人权理想中的选择，由此可知，第二段讲述的是各个方面选择的兴起。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Drawing on a wealth of sources ranging from novels and restaurant menus to the latest scientific findings about choice in psychology and economics, The Age of Choice calls on us to reconsider what choice means and to examine both its potential and its limitations in contemporary society.(利用从小说和餐厅菜单到关于心理学和经济学中关于选择的最新科学发现等广泛资料来源，《选择的时代》呼吁我们重新思考选择的意义，并审视其在当代社会中的潜力和局限性。)”可知，《选择的时代》这本书呼吁我们重新思考选择的意义及其现代意义中的潜力与局限。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，全文介绍的是《选择的时代》一书，探讨选择的历史、其在现代社会中的角色及其对个人和社会的影响，结合尾段“Choice is essential, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it.(选择是必不可少的，如果你只读一本关于这个主题的书，那就应该是这本。)”可知，作者的目的是推荐《选择的时代》这本书作为理解选择这一主题的重要读物。故选A项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Some bad and some good decisions will occur daily.

Mr. Davis looked up at the giant oak, its trunk dominating the centre of the parkland. The roots spread wide beneath the soft, worn grass, but the branches, once proud and expansive, had bent and cracked (破裂) because of the rot (腐烂). “I’m afraid I don’t share your optimism, Miss Pryke. We’ve received public complaints that its branches may fall at any moment. I shall engage an expert to give his opinion but if he recommends cutting it down, so be it.” “But the tree is part of the park’s history. It has stood here for hundreds of years.” It was on the tip of her tongue to explain that she also had a deep personal connection to it, but Clara was worried that he would think the reason was too emotional. “If you’ll allow me a few days, I’ll try to find a way to save it.” Mr. Davis made a sound of disbelief. “While I respect your skill as a botanical artist and admire your late father’s writings on the natural world and his knowledge in engineering, they do not qualify you to judge a tree’s safety,” he thought for a while and said. “I’ll see if I can get a surveyor to come on Monday. That gives you three days to put together and present a proposal. I’ll let you know the exact date and time.” “Thank you,” Clara said in relief. She watched him walk away, and then gently touched the rough bark, reflecting on the happy time she’d spent with the tree. She drew many pictures of the oak tree. Some of these drawings were sold to publishers, and along with other illustrations, they provided her with a modest (较少的) income. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “I’ll save you,” she whispered. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By Sunday, Clara had a plan ready, detailing the steps she would take to protect the ancient oak. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “I’ll save you,” she whispered. Determined, Clara rushed home and pulled out her father’s faded notebooks. Pages filled with sketches of tree structures and engineering calculations caught her eye. One entry described a metal support system for decaying trees. Her fingers trembled as she copied the diagrams, combining them with her botanical knowledge. Late into the night, she drafted illustrations showing how steel cables could stabilize the oak’s cracked branches. Memories of her father teaching her to draw tree rings resurfaced, strengthening her resolve. By dawn, she’d prepared technical drawings and treatment plans for the rot. By Sunday, Clara had a plan ready, detailing the steps she would take to protect the ancient oak. Her proposal included installing adjustable metal braces around weakened branches, applying antifungal treatments to the trunk, and creating a protective barrier around exposed roots. She emphasized using flexible materials that allowed natural growth. When the surveyor arrived Monday, Clara presented her father’s engineering concepts alongside her detailed illustrations. The expert nodded thoughtfully, examining her calculations. “This could work,” he admitted, surprising Mr. Davis. Clara’s eyes shone as she explained how regular monitoring would ensure safety. Finally, the oak was granted a chance to survive, its story continuing through seasons yet to come. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在克拉拉所在社区的一棵大树因为受到投诉面临被砍头的命运，而她和社区居民们都想要保住这棵树，于是她找到了社区领导戴维斯先生请求他再给大树一些时间，并保证会给出一个保住大树的方案，戴维斯先生最后答应了，并给克拉拉一些时间，克拉拉准备好计划，她认为这棵树承载着很多人的回忆, 她要尽力去拯救这棵树。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““我会救你的，”她轻声说。”可知，第一段可描写克拉拉如何找到拯救这颗树的方法。 ②由第二段首句内容“到周日，克拉拉已经准备好了一个计划，详细说明了她将采取的保护这棵古老橡树的步骤。”可知，第二段可描写克拉拉详细介绍自己的方法，并得到肯定，大树得到保护。 2.续写线索：查找笔记——设计方案——进行测量——获得肯定——成功救助大树。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①准备：prepare/ready ②展示：present/show ③同意：grant/allow 情绪类 ①坚定的：determined/resolute ②令人惊讶的：surprising/astonishing 【点睛】[高分句型1] Her fingers trembled as she copied the diagrams, combining them with her botanical knowledge.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型2] When the surveyor arrived Monday, Clara presented her father’s engineering concepts alongside her detailed illustrations.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
